  • PRODUCT CATALOG 2015 2015 Is a Year of Anniversaries for Us Here at CZ-USA
    PRODUCT CATALOG 2015 2015 is a year of anniversaries for us here at CZ-USA. Most notable is the 40th Anniversary of our model 75, a pistol that has become an icon in the firearms world. With a reputation for accuracy, reliability and capacity, it’s a timeless design that forms the basis for most all of our pistol line. To celebrate the 75’s 40 year anniversary, the factory’s master engraver was tasked with designing a unique pistol in commemoration. The 40th Anniversary Limited Edition is beautiful and unique, with only one thousand being created. Another anniversary is that of CZ-USA’s acquisition of Dan Wesson. One decade ago we added Dan Wesson Firearms to our family, bringing their line of fine 1911s to a greater audience through our authorized dealer network. Over the years they have grown and expanded, and Dan Wesson production today looks nothing like it did when we See page 9 brought them on. One thing has never changed -- our unwavering commitment to building production 1911s with superb fit and finish. We are proud of the fact that many customers compare our production 1911s to other manufacturers’ custom guns -- they’re just that good. Joining our lineup of Dan Wesson handguns are two new models and one blast from the past. The Silverback and Valkyrie are our response to customer input, slight variations on our current designs that bring customers options that previously were only available in custom orders. The throwback pistol that joins our catalog this year is the Dan Wesson 715.

  • Procurement and Policy: Police
    A TASER International representative displays a prototype for the TASER XREP, a 12-gauge wireless neuro-muscular incapacitation projectile, at a trade show for the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police in Montreal, August 2008. © Christinne Muschi/Reuters Procurement and Policy 3 POLICE USE OF EMERGING WEAPONS TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION In most Western countries, two factors condition the use of force by domestic security agencies: operational guide- lines and the type of weaponry available. The relationship between use-of-force policy and weapons procurement is close but complex. The adoption of new weapons may call for new policies, while the need to meet international norms in policing, for example, can affect weapons procurement. Market forces and trends in both civilian and military firearms development and procurement also play influential roles in the adoption of new weapons technology. On the streets of cities such as Chicago, Manchester, and Marseille, police officers have increasingly adopted so- called ‘less-lethal’ weapons into their day-to-day activities. A comprehensive review of the use of these weapons by Western police has not yet been undertaken, but police experience in France,1 the United Kingdom, and the United States suggests that countries are facing similar use-of-force challenges that are drawing them to use these weapons. By examining recent trends in police weapons technology and procurement by law enforcement agencies, as well as their use-of-force policies, this chapter highlights the alignment of policies and practices in a small but important sample of the West’s ‘leading-edge’ states. Among the chapter’s conclusions are the following: • Aside from the use of new materials to reduce weight and facilitate customization, law enforcement firearms have not recently experienced significant technological development.

  • Never Walk Alone”1
    “Never Walk Alone”1 How Concealed Carry Laws Boost Gun Industry Sales In the wake of the tragic shooting death of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, much of the public focus has been on Florida’s 2005 “Stand Your Ground” law (opposed then, and exposed today as a “Shoot First, Ask Questions Later” law). Regardless of concealed handgun permit holder George Zimmerman’s invocation of the law, and the effect of the state’s “Shoot First” law on his fate, the stark reality is that it is Florida’s lax concealed weapons law that allowed George Zimmerman to carry a black seven-shot Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm pistol in public and shoot Trayvon Martin.2 If Florida did not have this dangerous National Rifle Association-promoted law, Trayvon Martin would be alive today. The ad above for the Kel-Tec PF-9 appeared in the NRA’s January 2012 America’s 1st Freedom (the organization’s monthly activist magazine) and features an array of the pistols in different finishes.
